Get Data from a Look or Query

github repo API docs

The Get Look Data Block contains an API call for retrieving the results of a Look (i.e. a saved query), including everything from a full data table, or a single value. The results of this query can be periodically retrieved as needed to power custom data applications and automate business and technical processes. You can also retrieve the results of a brand new query by specifying the query parameters in the API call rather than the Look_id.

Sample Adaptations of this Block:
  • Create internal or external custom webpages with API
  • Simplify external customer reporting by importing updates and analysis into periodic emails or any custom application
  • Create automated processes to deliver query results to third-party applications
  • Automate snapshots of important data by delivering periodic query results to storage buckets or by appending history tables in your database
